Keeping a look out for accessories while watching a film can introduce you to the wonderful jewellery trends and fashions of the era (whether real or fictional!). We share our top 5 favourite films containing jewellery pieces that we just couldn't take our eyes off!
2. Breakfast at Tiffanys: The 1961 rom-com classic which is undoubtedly famous for its diamonds and pearls as well as Audrey Hepburn's little black dress. Hepburn plays materialistic Holly Golightly who absolutely loves jewellery especially Tiffany & Co (hence the film title). To this day Holly's Tiffany necklace is iconic.
1. The Great Gatsby: Based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel of the same name, the latest adaptation of The Great Gatsby (2013) starring Leo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan. In terms of jewellery the 1920’s flapper generation was a time that drew inspiration from the Art Deco movement and the Ancient Egyptians. Beaded necklaces and decorated headbands were huge trends.
To form the look, the jewels for the film were created by none other than Tiffany & Co which was already a famous jewellery producer at the time The Great Gatsby was set.

3. Anna Karenina: Based on Leo Tolstoy's book of the same name, Anna Karenina is set in the 1870's and tells the story of a Russian aristocrat. The 2012 film's lead role is played by Keira Knightly, who wears gorgeous jewels provided by Chanel. 
4. Lord of the Rings: A significant moment in Aragorn and Arwen's love story is when Arwen gives Aragorn the beautiful Everstar necklace in the first film of Peter Jackson's epic trilogy. The films are based on J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy novel's so it was important that the design of the necklace fit with his mythical world. The necklace was designed by Jasmine Watson and was made from crystals and sterling silver. 
5.Gentlemen Prefer Blondes: A 1953 film about showgirls, starring Marilyn Monroe as Lorelei who famously sings Diamonds are Girls Best Friend while diamonds drip from her neck. The amazing necklace she wears in the scene has a rich history dating possibly as far back as the 13th century!
